The free version,
Crush Brazil Maracanazo
Edition, celebrates one of the greatest moments in
international soccer history. Uruguay stunned heavy favorite and
host, Brazil, in the 1950 final at Rio de Janeiro’s Maracana
Stadium. In
Pixel Cup’s Maracanazo Edition, players try to score
for Uruguay in a limited amount of time. But each Uruguayan goal
adds more time to the clock and another chance to score again. Just
don’t let Brazil score, because even one goal ends the
game.

“
Pixel Cup Soccer celebrates the history of the beautiful
game – both on the international level as well as the video
game version with its stunning pixelated graphics, easy controls,
fluid gameplay and social features,”
Pixel Cup Socer executive producer Flavio Caiafa said.
“We want players to have fun playing our game throughout and
well after this summer’s major soccer tournament has crowned
the world’s next soccer champion.”
